IMPROVEMENT IN ADJUSTABLE SUPPORTS FOR LAMP-R EFLECTORS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 193,705, dated July 31, 1877 application filed June 11, 1877.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, RICHMOND HENRY, of Glassborough, county of Gloucester, and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Adjustable Support for Lamp-Reflectors, of which the following is a specification:

Figure l is a plan view of my improved adjustable support. Fig. 2 is a side elevation, in section, on line mm in Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corre sponding parts.

The object of my invention is to provide an adjustable frame for attaching a reflector to an ordinary lamp or gas-burner.

In the drawing, A is a ring having the adjusting-screw a, by which its size may be varied to fit any ordinary lamp-collar or gasburner,

Loops a are attached to the sides of the ring A, for receiving the wires B, which are bent twice at right angles to form a rectangular frame, which is inclined at such an angle as to bring the reflector supported by it into the proper relation with'the flame of the lamp or gas-burner.

A socket, G, which receives the shank b of the reflector, is drilled to receive the ends of the wires B, and is provided with a setscreW, 0, which retains the shank of the socket in any position into which it may be turned.

The reflector D is of silvered glass, and is mounted in a socket, to which the shank b is attached.

It will be seen that the reflector thus mounted is capable of turning in any direction within certain limits.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent The ring A, having the adjusting-screw 0t and loops (1, the wires B, and socket O, having the screw 0, in combination, substantially as shown and described.

RIO HMOND HENRY.
